Thread: Opinions on a dream I had last night.

All of this is typed in one go as I remember it:

Running around at night on some kind of grounds... Younger kids, all I see are males, with one using long pool cues to find other kids. Two rival leaders (I am somehow observing) strip naked and start running as if it were a race. I am aware of my age (17), so I do not completely strip, whereas others do, and start running after them. Eventually, I come to a stop somehow in first place. Everyone else ends up on top of me, including at least one girl. I probably saw here at some point in the dream, but I cannot remember. She is pretty, and has light brown hair. I am worried, because I have an erection (from running, as it sometimes happens), and she (along with others) are almost leaning on it. She turns around as if knowing that I am looking at her, and we talk, and maybe hug. I tell her that I've never really gone after a girl (something I've wanted to say in physical reality), and she says the same for herself. Then, the situation somehow progresses, and we tell each other that we will not mean to do something wrong about the relationship.

We have to part (she hands me a marker like those used by the USGS to triangulate the tops of mountains and such, yet a phone number is written on it both in numbers (in the traditional European style of sets of 2 digits), but it also has the numbers written out in words), and the dream progresses to week-months, possibly years later. We (I think she is there, although I have no way of knowing) are at some school or academy and separated by sex. Somehow, the dream is a french movie, but dubbed English. Things are lost in translation. I am working in some kind of press room, but we are studying literature as if in an English class. I ask the teacher (black woman) about the plot, which I forget the questions, and she asks me why I am asking the questions. I am confused why the teacher would discourage me to inquire about the plot, and while I am talking, I play with some sort of strange handicap ramp in front of the entrance of the room, which is a wide opening in the wall. I walk over across a small courtyard, which is where the females work, although I never actually glimpse them. I recall being told that the males are not to mingle with the females at some point, although I do not know when it was during the course of the dream.

The dream moves forward in time a bit more (indeterminate amount of time), and I am waiting on some stool in a very large courtyard, where it appears that school of some kind is being let out. I think I am waiting for the unnamed girl to come, but I feel as if I know she won't come. I see others, some alone but mostly couples, leaving the school, while I watch and examine some groups.

I believe that I briefly awake, but then I go back to sleep. I arrive back in some (I assume french) city, which I am already familiar with. It has many places that I've been in my dreams (paths to 2 separate dreamscapes that I have visited before). I am on a bicycle, and I somehow know where this academy is. I bicycle up a steep hill, and find that the academy type place is still only under construction. It is as if I went back in time. I find some workers, whom the foreman has a hard time speaking English, although he speaks french. The 2-3 other workers are from Syria or some close country. I make some strange glass things in the ground like I saw in some magazine, but somehow I get a message. It told me to meet in 10 minutes at the "altered metro +100m" or something. I tell the workers that I have to leave immediately, suspecting that it is somehow the girl, yet as I start running to the location, I have a false awakening and search for such a location in the real world. I realize that it was a dream, and that this girl doesn't exist. At some point, I smoothly wake up into this reality, and am saddened (but unusually unemotional) because it was all a dream. I then, after just sitting and thinking in bed for a while, come and type this out here.

I wish I could have the dream again just to have that same feeling oh her in my arms. Needless to say, I have yet to have any sort of girlfriend, although there is one girl that I like, but am too embarrassed to talk to more than just about schoolwork. Any comments about my dream would be welcome. Go ahead and post whatever you want, and thanks in advance for whoever reads this long post.
